WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes
  1. Prepare the Potatoes:
    Peel and shred the potatoes. Boil them in about 1 quart of water until soft, then mash thoroughly. Allow them to cool slightly before adding to the mash.
  2. Mash the Grains:
    Heat 1.5 gallons of water to 152°F (67°C).
    Add the crushed grains and mashed potatoes in a grain bag. Maintain the mash at 152°F for 60 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even conversion.
  3. Sparge:
    Rinse the grain and potato mixture with 1 gallon of water at 170°F (77°C) to extract sugars.
  4. Boil:
    Bring the wort to a boil. Add 0.3 oz of Fuggle hops at the start of the 60-minute boil.
